Which type of policy does an IPv6 ISATAP tunnel support?

The correct answer is B. policies to transmit IPv6 traffic within a site. ISATAP stands for Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (RFC 5214).

Explanation

ISATAP stands for Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (RFC 5214). By definition, ISATAP is designed for transmitting IPv6 traffic within a single site over an existing IPv4 infrastructure - it creates a logical IPv6 link over an IPv4 non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) network within an organization. The 'intra-site' scope is fundamental to its design; it is not intended for inter-site or Internet-facing deployments. Option A (CLNS) refers to OSI networking, not IPv6 tunneling. Option C describes a generic point-to-point IPv6 tunnel, which more accurately describes a manual or GRE tunnel. Option D refers to the 2002::/16 prefix, which is specific to 6to4 tunneling, not ISATAP. ISATAP uses a modified EUI-64 format embedding the IPv4 address, not a 2002:: prefix.
